Because of his contradicting statements, DJ Mo Twister thinks that incumbent Manila city mayor and presidential aspirant Isko Moreno would play an actor and an excellent joker.
On December 6, Moreno said he is willing to team up with President Rodrigo Duterte, who is running for a senatorial seat.
Moreno sided with Duterte and pledged to vote for the president and even welcomed him to his Senate slate.
“I’m going to vote for him, personally. I’m going to endorse him, hopefully kung papayag siya, I’ll be honored. Nakuha ko nga siyang iboto, e ‘di ko pa ba siya makuhang i-adopt?” Moreno said.
With this, Mo Twister, who is known for being vocal with his opinions about the government, pointed out that Moreno’s statement is yet another reason not to vote for him.
Yet another reason to trash Isko. https://t.co/bpvz8Qi5I5

Moreno’s political stance has been confusing lately because of his ironic opinions.
He initially set himself as an opposition candidate upon filing his Presidential candidacy. However, now, it is revealed that he is pro-administration.
I guess by now it's clear that Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso is not the opposition candidate he initially purported himself to be. https://t.co/HRgRR97o7t

Moreno is running under the progressive Aksyon Demokratiko political party that was created through former Senator Raul S. Roco’s ‘Agenda of Hope’.
Aksyon Demokratiko backed Moreno’s pledge to support Duterte, saying that the party is a ‘centrist’, not an opposition. This has caused disappointment to personalities.
PBB ex-housemate Justin Dizon thinks that the party is wasting Roco’s efforts in the past.
Oh my god binaboy niyo yung pinaghirapan at pinaglaban ni Raul Roco!!! https://t.co/dwufV7ndMX

Dr. Raymond John Naguit, Akbayan Youth chairperson, suggested that senatorial and local candidates and members should consider leaving the party as its image is slowly being damaged.

Moreno also stood against political dynasties, and on December 1, he asked the Filipinos to stop voting for the same families to govern.

Duterte first became the mayor of Davao City in 1988, and until now, his family is holding elective positions in the said city. Three of his children currently govern Davao City — Sara Duterte-Carpio (Mayor), Sebastian Duterte (Vice Mayor), and Paolo Duterte (1st District representative).
In addition, Samira Gutoc is part of Moreno’s senatorial slate so, adding Duterte will be totally ironic.
Gutoc is one of Duterte’s appointees for the drafting of the Bangsamoro Basic Law however, she resigned in May 2017 after Duterte’s controversial remarks about soldiers raping women and his martial law declaration.
Will Isko Moreno’s duality and ironic opinions minimize his chances of winning the Presidential race?
